Chapter 1: Growing UP Fast

The job

This is my first fic so please be patient, this takes place during Danny's, Sam's, and Tuckers junior year of high school and they are all 17. Enjoy and please review.

Sam POV-

"Hey Danny, do you want to meet at the Nasty Burger after school?" I asked my boyfriend of almost a year already knowing the answer.

Ever since Danny and I have been dating things couldn't have been going better, we hang out every day and sometimes when he is out fighting ghosts at night he stops by my house and we talk all night.

"No sorry babe I have to work tonight" Danny said fairly unenthusiastically.

"What? You got a job?" Sam barely got the words out of her mouth before bursting out laughing.

"Well if I want a car I need money, my license does me no good without a car" Danny said defensively.

"No that's great, but protecting the town is already kind of a full time job" Sam added knowing she was right.

Danny POV-

Sam had a good point, but I'm already a junior and flying around isn't a good option for reliable transportation without blowing my cover, But I already got my license last year on my birthday but I haven't gotten much driving in since. Working at a fast food place wasn't ideal but for a high school student it will work. Plus I will finally have money to take Sam out on a real date for once.

"What place on earth would hire you?" Tucker interrupted obviously ease dropping on the conversation.

"The Grocery Store on main needs a stocker and it's perfect because I can do it after school." Danny Exclaimed with a trace of annoyance in his voice.

"Dude calm down I was joking" Tucker replied defensively.

"Why do you seem so nervous Danny?" Sam added in a calming voice trying to sooth Danny.

"I just don't want to screw up my first real job on the first day" Danny told his friends in a Nervous voice.

"You will do great!" Both Sam and Tucker reassured Danny.

"Thanks guys!" Danny said as he sped down the street for a block until he remembered he could fly and then he took off to his new exciting job.

Once Danny got to the grocery store he went into the break room he had been showed during his orientation and put his things in one if the hundred lockers in the room. Danny grabbed an apron and went to the office to meet his trainer.

"Hi my name is Cassidy." The blond girl said with a welcoming smile.

"I'm Danny" Danny said taking the whole situation in and examining his surroundings.

Cassidy was an astonishing girl with golden blond hair, beautiful eyes, and a smile that could brighten any room. But Danny has a girlfriend and loves Sam with all his heart.

"Well Danny lets go up front and get you clocked in and started." Cassidy trailed off as she walked up front signaling for Danny to follow.

The rest of the night went fairly smooth with Danny only knocking over a few cans, once midnight came he went up front and clocked out, grabbed his things and flew immediately to Sam's to tell her all about his night.
